reassign net on multipart path

DaveDesigner

i am looking to write a short little script to re-assign the net name for multipart paths. we have several different MPPs defined and what happens is whatever the first net it touches get assigned to the MPP in XL. It is an annoying task to select the MPP and re-assign the subparts for the net you want on the MPP.

 I was trying something like:

cv=geGetSelectedSet()

foreach(path cv

path~>net~>name="newname" )

following error: *Error* setSGq: dbSetq: Can not set attribute - name

  • You can't set the name attribute on the net. You'll need to set the net attribute on the path.

    netId  = dbMakeNet(geGetEditCellView() "newname")

    The above command will create the net in the cellview if it does not exist. Otherwise it will return the net id for the net named "newname". Then you assign this net to the path:

    path~>net = netId

    You can get all the rod objects in a cell by using: rodGetNamedShapes rather than looping through all the shapes in the cell. Although this may be a nit-picking detail, cv is the typical convention for the "cellview id" (cv = geGetEditCellView()). You code could be confusing to someone debugging it by using cv for the selected set.
